# Bol Listings Scraper (`piotrv1001/bol-listings-scraper`) Actor The Bol.com Listings Scraper extracts product listings and detail pages from bol.com (NL/BE), capturing titles, prices, ratings, brands, sellers, and per-variant data including EAN-13, color, weight, and buy-box offers — ideal for price tracking, repricing, and competitive analysis. - **URL**: https://apify.com/piotrv1001/bol-listings-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [FalconScrape](https://apify.com/piotrv1001) (community) - **Categories:** E-commerce, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 1 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $3.00 / 1,000 product listings This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### 🛍️ Bol.com Listings Scraper Easily extract product data from **bol.com** — the leading Dutch and Belgian e-commerce marketplace. The **Bol.com Listings Scraper** turns any search query, category, brand, series, or product detail URL into structured JSON, with optional per-variant enrichment (EAN-13, color, weight, seller, condition) pulled straight from bol.com's embedded JSON-LD. ### ✨ Features - 🏷️ **Comprehensive product data**: titles, prices, ratings, review counts, brand, seller, delivery promises, sponsored flags, and image URLs straight from listing pages. - 🔬 **Per-variant enrichment**: opt into product detail pages for full JSON-LD `ProductGroup` records — EAN-13, color, weight in grams, condition, availability, and per-variant buy-box seller. - 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 **NL + BE shops**: scrape `bol.com/nl/nl/` or `bol.com/be/nl/`. The Actor automatically pins Apify Residential proxy to the matching country. - 🛡️ **Anti-bot ready**: Akamai Bot Manager bypass via Apify Residential proxy + browser-realistic headers + automatic session rotation on 403/429. - 📚 **Books too**: handles bol's `Book` JSON-LD shape with variants under `workExample` — ISBN-13 ends up in the same `gtin13` field. - 💸 **Pay-per-event pricing**: pay only for items pushed to the dataset — see the pricing table below. ### 🛠️ How It Works 1. **Choose a mode** by what you put in the input: - **Search** — keywords under `searchQueries` (e.g. `harry potter boek`) or paste search URLs into `startUrls`. - **Category / Brand / Series** — paste `/l/`, `/pb/`, or `/serie/` URLs into `startUrls`. - **Product detail** — paste `/p/.../{id}/` URLs into `startUrls`. 2. **Pick the country shop** — `nl` or `be`. The Actor pins the residential proxy to the matching country. 3. **(Optional) Turn on `includeProductDetails`** to switch into PDP-enrichment mode — listing pages become URL sources only, and the dataset gets one rich record per product detail page. 4. **Set `maxItems`** to cap your spend, or leave it `0` for unlimited. 5. **Run the scraper** — results stream to the default dataset, ready to download as JSON / CSV / Excel. ### ⚙️ Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | | ----------------------- | ------------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `startUrls` | array of URLs | optional | — | Bol.com URLs to crawl. Supports `/s/`, `/l/`, `/pb/`, `/serie/`, and `/p/` paths on `bol.com/nl/nl/` or `bol.com/be/nl/`. | | `searchQueries` | string[] | optional | `[]` | Keywords to convert into search start URLs (one search URL per query, on the selected country shop). | | `country` | `nl` \| `be` | optional | `nl` | Country shop. Drives both the search URL path and the residential proxy country (forced to match — never mix `/nl/` with BE IPs). | | `maxItems` | integer ≥ 0 | optional | `0` | Maximum dataset items to push across the whole run. `0` = unlimited. Use this to cap spend. | | `includeProductDetails` | boolean | optional | `false` | When `true`, listings are used only to discover product URLs; the dataset gets one PDP record per product (full JSON-LD). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | optional | RESIDENTIAL | Apify proxy options. Residential is required — bol blocks datacenter IPs. Country code is overwritten to match `country`. | > At least one of `startUrls` or `searchQueries` must be provided. ### 📊 Sample Output Data #### Listing card (when `includeProductDetails=false`) ```json { "type": "listing", "productId": "9200000023479731", "url": "https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/harry-potter-boxset/9200000023479731/", "title": "Harry Potter - Full Boxset", "imageUrl": "https://media.s-bol.com/qwD5RRPRo10/550x450.jpg", "brandName": "J.K.

Which event you're charged for depends on the `includeProductDetails` flag (the two modes are mutually exclusive within a single run). | Event | When charged | Price (USD) | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | `product-listing` | Each listing card pushed when `includeProductDetails=false` | **$0.003** | | `item-detail` | Each PDP record (with full JSON-LD variants) when `includeProductDetails=true` | **$0.010** | Worked examples: | Scenario | Items | Event | Total cost | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------- | ---------- | | Keyword search, first 10 pages (~250 cards) | 250 | `product-listing` | $0.75 | | Full keyword search to bol's 256-page cap (~6,400 cards) | 6,400 | `product-listing` | $19.20 | | 1,000 PDPs with `includeProductDetails=true` | 1,000 | `item-detail` | $10.00 | | 10,000 PDPs with `includeProductDetails=true` | 10,000 | `item-detail` | $100.00 | Set `maxItems` to put a hard cap on the run and your bill. 🎯 Get the freshest Dutch and Belgian e-commerce data with **Bol.com Listings Scraper** today! 🚀 # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Bol.com URLs to crawl. Supported: search results (/s/), category (/l/), brand (/pb/), series (/serie/), and product detail (/p/) pages — on either www.bol.com/nl/nl/ or www.bol.com/be/nl/. ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Keywords to search for. Each query becomes a start URL at /{country}/nl/s/?searchtext=... ## `country` (type: `string`): Which bol.com shop to crawl. Drives both the search-URL path (/nl/nl/ vs /be/nl/) and the residential proxy country code. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of dataset items to push across listings and product details. 0 = unlimited. ## `includeProductDetails` (type: `boolean`): Enqueue each listing card's PDP and emit a product-detail record with JSON-LD ProductGroup (EAN, brand, color, weight, per-variant offers, aggregate rating). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy configuration.
